This is from a 46-1209 in very bad shape I picked up as a learning project. Before I attempt to replace the capacitors (which I understand is a good place to start if you're a total novice), I'm familiarizing myself with the chassis and schematic.

Anyway, does the power transformer look like a goner? I don't have the skills to test it -- just curious whether one can give a rough diagnosis based on its rusty looks. Thank you!
